[–] rustydomino@lemmy.world 31 points 3 years ago (2 children) Make it in the mini form factor and use physical SIMs and I will buy two. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] HeartyBeast@kbin.social 4 points 3 years ago (1 child) As a matter of interest, what is wrong with e-SIMs? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] atyaz@reddthat.com 12 points 3 years ago (1 child) I thought they were super convenient until I had to repair my phone and apple deleted my old sims because they thought there was a physical sim (there's wasn't). So I have to go to the agency for the sims I lost. One of them is in another country.

Check out the Airalo esim app. You can get one for pretty much anywhere in the world. I also switched my local provider to esim because it means the sim can’t be removed from the phone if lost or stolen to take it offline. I guess they could keep it wrapped in tinfoil but that’s probably more than the average street rat knows. permalink fedilink source parent [+] ZyQo@lemmy.world -35 points 3 years ago (5 children) The mini seems useless, how so you even watch content on a screen that small? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] Alto@kbin.social 26 points 3 years ago (1 child) Not everyone is glued to their phone 24/7 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] ZyQo@lemmy.world -23 points 3 years ago (4 children) That is true.

You don’t need a good phone to watch videos at all, so I’m not even sure why that’s the example you chose to fight about. permalink fedilink source parent [–] lumberjacked@lemmy.world 8 points 3 years ago (1 child) I take pictures.

Watching content back then wasn’t as widespread as today so in that sense it’s quite useless imo. Watching a 1080/4k on YouTube or watching a show on Netflix/Apple TV+ on such a small form factor seems like an annoyance. Besides, my phone is what I use for 95% of my computing needs.
